KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 16 — Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin became the country’s shortest ruling prime minister after he officially tendered his resignation today amid a prolonged and fractious power struggle with Umno that has left the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition in tatters.
Rembau MP Khairy Jamaluddin, in an Instagram post, confirmed that the Cabinet has tendered its resignation to the Agong. Muhyiddin is now expected to address the nation soon.
The Pagoh MP led a tumultuous term that spanned just seventeen months as he headed a fragile bloc of political parties that quickly turned against each other while he battled a pandemic that had wreaked havoc on the economy and killed thousands.
In the last few days of his premiership, Muhyiddin faced mounting pressure from both his political opponents and the public angered by a worsening public health crisis.
It is still uncertain who will succeed him as prime minister, with Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob among names proposed for a new Umno-led coalition while Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s Pakatan Harapan has yet to show it commands the majority in Dewan Rakyat.

The outcome according to my Uncle, will astonished everyone in Malaysia. It’s between 2 people only actually vying for PM post. The problem is can one of them trust the other one? One of them have to relent to allow another one to become PM. This prediction is according to my Uncle sixth sense. Sorry can’t reveal the two names above. Stay tune.

Sabri Ismail as PM and Deputy PM from Bersatu. Others supporters like PAS, MIC, MCA, etc etc would follow suit. From news report.
It would be like a PM and cabinet re-shuffle.
Nothing would change except for the faces and special report to Agong every week.
** Same old story but... This time UMNO would lead the show.
